I often have to do the same motion to get it to work. What I've noticed is that
if you have the house too high or low that it pinches slightly at the point
where it connects to the tank. It will also pinch if you hold the tube against
its natural curl. Sometimes I can get it in a sweet spot and it poors straight
in. If the darkroom has enough space
what I like to do is pour the developer into the tank and then slowly
lower the spiral in and start the timer, then I close the tank and turn
on the lights.
I've thought about trying a different tube like the ones popular with home
brewers but have yet to buy a tube. It also might be worth examining your tube
to see if their is any sort of build up of debris in the tube.

Subject: [Frameworks] Lomo UPB-1A pouring issues
Hi all,
I have recently got my hands on a second lomo developing tank. Now I've used my
first developing tank for over 5 years and I've always had problems getting the
chemistry in quickly. I pour half a ltr in and then I have to wriggle the black
tube (a kind of up and pown motion) to get the rest of the chemicals to suck
in.
i thought this was normal until I got my second tank. The chemicals just glide
in without effort. No odd tube movements needed. The tanks are identical so why
wont my first one fill up properly?
Any suggestions or have any of you had similar problems in the past?
Thanks
kevin
